Absolute nonsense that only a redneck would believe. In most countries outside the US, local TLD's are used much more.

Can't resist specific quoting of "bank sites" as an example of mis-directing a login to a different site. hmmm... does Business Insider really feel all the good things around https and certificates are jokes? Or did business insider think that there will be a bank offering services through a website which is not on https? If yes, who would go there? Fear mongering!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5314742decad04b24d7dc709gitisMon, 03 Mar 2014 07:23:09 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5314742decad04b24d7dc709

It is funny that the guy who wrote the text already came up with the idea to make fake bank websites and gain codes from people :Dhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/5313060beab8ea0c052a42aeMatei LucaSun, 02 Mar 2014 05:20:59 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5313060beab8ea0c052a42ae
The delay is due to the fact that it takes up to 48 hours for a domain name to propagate to the entire dns network spread across the globe. Almost instant access to a new registered domain can be achieved by editing your host file on your local pc (that is until the propagation process takes place).http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5312e22ceab8ea306af07877Colin RobbinsSun, 02 Mar 2014 02:47:56 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5312e22ceab8ea306af07877
Sadly this article demonstrates a misunderstanding of what the ICANN database does. While it controls the top-level of the DNS, the DNS is a distributed system. Thus these 14 people could not redirect traffic to a fake bank site - or if they tried to by changing the Top level domain to point to a new set of roots, so many things would break the attack would be very quickly spotted.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5312ab27eab8eacb27f07864goobennnSat, 01 Mar 2014 22:53:11 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5312ab27eab8eacb27f07864
I have to disagree. Dot com is easy and common, sure, but other TLDs are gaining momentum, especially *.io for tech companies. And more specialized TLDs are being instated with a very high frequency. I will grant that .com is currently king, but when has the internet ever given you a reason to believe that something even as simple as a TLD can hold its attention forever?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5312aa306da8118c2ee13ca0GargoSat, 01 Mar 2014 22:49:04 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5312aa306da8118c2ee13ca0
I feel like the author more than sufficiently explained what was meant by "controlling" the internet. If one malicious person got all 7 keys and knew where the boxes were, shit would get real. Fast. So fast that most people who got fucked over would have NO IDEA for quite some time.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5312a7576bb3f7ea598cf135SweetDougSat, 01 Mar 2014 22:36:55 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/5312a7576bb3f7ea598cf135

Wow, so anyone (or group) that wants to take control of the internet just needs to follow them to the restaurant after the ceremony and spike their drinks? That doesn't sound too safe. They all should disburse to different continents immediately after the ceremony.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53128d0969beddd560f07870SweetDougSat, 01 Mar 2014 20:44:41 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53128d0969beddd560f07870

Gee, I wonder what crazy-assed religious sect, seeking world domination under a world view of the 7th century, will be targeting this building with a plane in the near future?

- Cerf is not doubt the inspiration for the 'Architect' in Matrix.
- This key stuff may be inspiration for 'the keyholder' in Matrix as well.
- At very least - these guys are D&D, Tolkien fans - all of this reeks of nerdy quasi religious ritual.

The 14 "Key Holders" do not control the internet they only control the Master DNS system there are other dns systems with other TLD systems yes if ICANN fell it would suck and the internet would fragment. this is click bait and i fell for ithttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/53124ea0ecad040b438cf127Ken C.Sat, 01 Mar 2014 16:18:24 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53124ea0ecad040b438cf127
You're wrong. ICANN is the only organization that maintains the database of domain names for the entire world. When a person registers a new domain name with his/her preferred registrar (eg., fatcow.cow, 1and1.com, GoDaddy.com, etc.) that registrar is providing that customer with a service, but they themselves must communicate with ICANN to make the domain registration happen. This is why registrars don't promise that the domain registration will be instantaneous, but rather, warn the customer there may be a delay up to 48 hours. The reason for the warning is that the registrar can do it all themselves, they are working with a third party -- ICANN.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53124e7569bedd2d65f078660megaSat, 01 Mar 2014 16:17:41 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/53124e7569bedd2d65f07866

Yep, they deal with DNS management, and they're not the only ones, they're just the largest. BI could be so foolishhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/531241016bb3f78a038cf12bSriksSat, 01 Mar 2014 15:20:17 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/531241016bb3f78a038cf12b
its not controlling the internet, more like a DNS management. when you enter BI's address there will be a local DNS server from where we get the address and the routing path not necessarily the ICANN database. ICANN's responsibility is for top level not the entire address and it's primary responsibility is to resolve the domain name address resolution.
